Grilled Turkey Breast Sandwich with Avocado and Lettuce

Ingredients

• Turkey breast slices (grilled) 5 oz
• Whole wheat sandwich bread 2 slices
• Avocado 1/4 medium
• Lettuce leaves 2 leaves
• Mustard 1 tsp

Method

1. Prepare the ingredients. Gather all ingredients. If your turkey breast slices are not grilled yet, preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and cook the turkey slices for about 3 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly browned. Let them rest while you prepare the other ingredients.
   Tip: Make sure turkey is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
2. Toast the bread. Lightly toast the two slices of whole wheat bread in a toaster or on a dry skillet until golden brown. This adds crunch and prevents the bread from becoming soggy.
   Tip: Watch closely to avoid burning the bread.
3. Prepare the avocado spread. Scoop out about 1/4 of a medium avocado (approximately 118g) into a small bowl. Mash it gently with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture.
   Tip: Add a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
4. Assemble the sandwich. Spread the mashed avocado evenly on one slice of the toasted bread. Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard on the other slice. Layer the grilled turkey breast slices evenly over the avocado. Place two fresh lettuce leaves on top of the turkey, then cover with the mustard-spread bread slice.
   Tip: Press gently to help the sandwich hold together without squashing the ingredients.
5. Serve and enjoy. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally for easier eating and serve immediately. Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful grilled turkey breast sandwich with avocado and lettuce!
   Tip: Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal.

Pro tips

• If you prefer, you can add sliced tomato or cucumber for extra freshness and crunch.
• To keep the sandwich from getting soggy if packing for later, keep the avocado spread separate and assemble just before eating.
